Tue, 03 Apr 2012 07:08:30 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=504561#comment-825746@Wondering: your question is legitimate, and the reason I wrote about it because I found it interesting the idea that a startup could insert itself into a slice of the clean power business and will essentially try to undercut utilities and other existing clean power service providers. I don’t know if the idea will be successful, but I’m in the business of reporting new efforts to change how energy is marketed or delivered to consumers. Ethical Electric happened to be an example that I came across. I don’t know why some people think that a business built on an Internet marketing platform is not worthy of being covered: we need good marketing to reach out to consumers and persuade them to use and pay for clean power.
